The plot of the first part can be summed up in one sentence, a story about a gangster who went into hiding because of a dog. Just watching the plot is very simple and a little bloody, only if you open the movie you will know that it is worth your two hours to experience a good action movie. The plot of the second part is still simple, and it is just a plot of assassination and pursuit that will be repaid sooner or later. However, it inherits the previous one and develops its unique temperament, making these two unique labels. Unforgettable. The following are the parts I like from my personal perspective:
1. The long-shot shooting
of the battle Now action movies often use different angles of speed and slow editing to express the fierceness of the battle, and several battle scenes in this film are basically shot in long shots. It shows the high efficiency of the protagonist's shooting skills, the second is to show the protagonist's progress in the battle, and the third is that the slender figure of the protagonist Keanu Reeves can show excellent beauty in long shots.
2. The combination of music and gunfights
both have scenes of confrontation at a gorgeous party. The intense electronic rock music is mixed with the shooting frequency of Mozambique shooting method, which is both calm and crazy; in the second part, Keanu and the male bodyguard are in the subway station. The shooting is full of slow and steady frequency, which is in line with the pace of pedestrians, which is very interesting.
3. Regarding the male protagonist's ability to kill, it
should be said that although many action movies in Hollywood are still dominated by hot weapons, because there are many close combats, many action movie stars are strong men with big muscles and big muscles. There are very few sparring movies based on pure firearms. More often, fighting against murder is an auxiliary, and firearms are just a simple weapon. The plot and conspiracy are weakened in this film, which greatly highlights the plot of gun confrontation. Although it is not a new design, it is definitely eye-opening.
There is no doubt that the protagonist's halo in the two movies is mainly the use of firearms. After all, as a modern gangster killer (slightly different from bounty assassination), firearms are the main tool of warfare. As a gangster killer who is too old to retire, the male protagonist must have strong firearms, and fighting is placed in a very secondary position.
4 About Jianghu
Jianghu is a legend, and it has gradually moved away from us. The once popular Hong Kong martial arts film is now an old dream, and now we have martial arts but no martial arts. In martial arts, there are alliances, loyalty, and rules, as well as legendary undefeated heroes and killers... These things that I often saw in movies, novels and TV when I was a child are now invisible. But these two films made me feel some traces instead:
# Services that are all traded in gold coins, including tailors who make body armor, tour guides including historical maps of the entire city, including sommeliers who provide complete sets of firearms, including killers not allowed The mainland hotel that kills people, the intermediary that releases the market news, etc.
# including the gentleman's agreement of the masters
# including the observance of the badge contract
# including the suicide of the female mafia leader, including the gentleman's dialogue and greetings
These details are novel Admirable clips fused together to form a world of killers that run independently, this is the most brilliant setting of the series,
sincerely looking forward to the third installment!
